Abstract

In the last few years, dark tourism has gained great prominence within tourism studies. Partly due to its new re-conceptualization of what attraction means but also because it is considered a new trend within the cultural consumption of the most sophisticated cities, the truth is that there has been a great interest on the part of the community in general on the subject.

In this context, Glenn Hooper and John Lennon present a new edition that contains fourteen chapters, which attempt to continue the tradition inaugurated by Sharpley and Stone, where dark tourism is considered not only an observable phenomenon in other times and cultures, but also a patrimonial part of the tradition.
